What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

It arrived on the 25th, and my period was on the 30th of October because I took emergency contraception during that time. When my period came, it was the same as usual—the first day was a bit painful, but by the morning of the third day, it was fine. However, in the early hours due to holding my urine, I had some lower abdominal discomfort in the afternoon. I didn't want to go to the bathroom, and it was on the left side.

Doctor's answer:

If the early pregnancy test paper shows negative, it means not pregnant. If it shows positive, it means pregnant. If it shows a weak positive, it means there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, if the conditions are not yet mature, the test results may not be very clear.
HCG levels during early pregnancy are very low, so the early pregnancy test paper may show a weak positive. If you are not sure, you can wait a few more days to test again. If you suspect you might be pregnant, it is essential to go to the hospital for a professional and thorough examination. Self-testing may not be very accurate due to improper timing or testing methods.
An ultrasound can be used for early detection.
